Instead of embracing this world as something cool, they detest their situation with every fiber of their being. They also don't gain any special powers or anything, they're just suddenly a broke nobody in a terrible world. They also aren't shining beacons of morality, and are more likely to manipulate the people of this new world to help them find their way back home (on account of not considering these people to be actual people) instead of being some inexplicable badass who can overcome all obstacles with simple violence? --- the real Irving Rameses https://imgur.com/A7f6F9h <cite>Ving_Rhames posted [p:950678328] in Is there a...

I guess if you squint and use a really broad definition, but even if you do the MC is relentlessly optimistic, doesn't detest the world. He literally gets teleported to a new world in the first episode. I'd argue you have an extremely narrow view of isekai if you limit it to the modern trends. Portal fantasy is a genre that goes back a long way. Aside from that.. Shu is depicted as happy with his life in japan. He definitely detests the world he finds himself in. He has no powers. He is not a badass. He's not manipulative, but I don't think he's a shining beacon of morality either. He's trying his hardest to remain optimistic. i think he comes off as pretty desperate in some of his scenes with the soldiers of hellywood (and with sara). Tanya does fit the manipulative role better, so its probably the better fit for what TC wants, That said, i stand by NTHT as a recommendation, its a great show. --- You load sixteen tons, what do you get?

Yeah, he/she initially hates it and is turned into a child but he very quickly becomes a prodigy and OP head of the army who revels in what he does. Still, I think personality wise he still fits the bill. Not a very remorseful person who's main driving force is pure spite and hatred for God.

It's not true isekai but the protagonist finds himself exposed to a secret occult side of the world that normal people don't know about. They're technically dead but forced to do these dangerous competitions in order to extend their lives for a day and if they earn enough points over several days they can go back to life as normal.
